FIN 5405 - Mergers and Acquisitions


Mergers & Acquisitions is a case-based examination of the factors that contribute to a successful transaction. After establishing why an entity would entertain a merger or acquisition in the first place, emphasis will be placed on candidate selection, valuation, negotiation, structure, including SPACs or blank-check companies, post-transaction integration, and satisfying the needs of the many stakeholders involved in a deal. Class meetings will feature discussions of assigned cases, team research projects into recent transactions, and mock negotiations. Students will have met the prerequisites prior to enrolling in the course to ensure that they are comfortable with the common tools of finance, especially discounted cash flow analysis.

Prerequisites: ACCT 4100  OR ACCT 4101  and FIN 4200 , OR FIN 5401 .
